WINE DESCRIPTION
Sant'Elena Pinot Grigio D.O.P. is a pristine representation of the Friuli Isonzo region, where stony alluvial soils impart a unique character to this 100% Pinot Grigio wine. Produced with a commitment to organic practices, each plant yields only one bottle, ensuring meticulous care during cultivation and harvest. After hand-picking, the grapes undergo soft crushing, followed by a controlled settling period and fermentation in stainless steel at cool temperatures. This process results in a wine with a deep straw-yellow hue and enticing copper hints. The aromatic profile features notes of pear, exotic fruits, and acacia flowers, leading to a long, refreshing finish that captures the essence of its local terroir.
